Paris kilograms indicate that the demonstration
yesterday on General Boulanger's departure has

people generally. Estimates of the number of the

The Opposition cheers which hailed the an
noirncement of 81 majority for the third reading
of the Crimes act supposed to denote the
satisfaction of the Liberals and Irish with those
figures If the truth were told the majority of
both sides are glad to have this thing out of the

Old Man has made no such effort since the speech
which closed debate when the second reading
of his own Home Rule bill was defeated last
